Yes! Get a case! I bought one for each of my two children last Christmas from Best Buy and sprung for the 2 year accident replacement plan. Right before Christmas, my daughter shattered her screen (no case. Also, both of them had developed very loose charging connections over the past 6 months. Best Buy took both back, no questions asked, and promptly sent us a new ones. So, I would look into a protection plan that covers accidents. Also, I don't suggest using the kindle while it charges, which I suspect is why that became loose over time.

I have honestly never used a stylus. I have one for it, with the soft tip, but I never used it. It is easier, and more convenient, to just use my finger. *shrug*

The cover I have slides over my kindle, and when I hold it in the horizontal position it slides off. I wouldn't get any cover that comes off on its own, in the future.
